Fresh off the back of Bow Wow’s attempt at poking WWE stars on Twitter, Soulja Boy is now the latest rapper to grab a stick.
Rap game faker than WWE

In just 5 words, Soulja Boy riled up various WWE stars enough for them to respond to his suggestion that WWE is ‘fake’, including; Angel Garza, T-BAR, Lince Dorado, Isiah Swerve Scott, WWE Hall of Famer Gerald Brisco and the ever-present on Twitter, Randy Orton!
Whilst many responded quite jokingly to the 2007 ‘Crank That’ rapper, Orton took the interaction slightly further, tweeting:
Fake? Dare this prick to step up. He dont like movies? Consider us actors that do stunts, without pads 200 days a year and don’t bitch when we get surgically repaired and come right back. Consider us 100 times tougher then anyone you’ve come across. Aint nuthin but a b***h a**…
As the interactions bubbled, Orton gave props to Soulja for the 2007 he had, pointing to some of his favourite rappers. Orton then dared Soulja to come to his world and question whether it’s fake or not:
‘Crank that’ came out in ‘07 you had a hell of a year. Serious $. Hats off to ya my dude. Here’s the thing tho… I like rap. I bump that shit all day whether it’s tunechi, meek, JZ…but you call what I do to survive, fake? Fuck that. Come to my world and say that. Dare ya https://t.co/P3qx5bu6ks

This provoked Soulja (real name DeAndre Cortez Way) asking Orton whether he knew who he was, inviting ‘The Legend Killer’ in to ‘his world’ because what he does is real (rapping) and stands by his statement about wrestling being fake.
Randy Orton, as many would predict, didn’t take long to respond:
U spittin facts? Seems like all you spittin is the same mess you rap about. Nut. Clear your throat my dawg, and be there. Enough talk. Back it up. https://t.co/rN8JY5AX3q

The interactions ended with Soulja writing, “Cap wrestler. If u really want big draco to pull up say less.” Orton seemingly complying by not responding at all.
In a few weeks, we’ve seen Cardi B & Lacey Evans lock Twitter horns, Lil Bow Wow state his intentions to become a wrestler in the WWE, Elon Musk vs Triple H on Mars be teased and now Randy Orton shooting on Soulja Boy. People may question how ‘real’ wrestling is, but there’s no denying it’s a pretty fun environment to be a part of!
